Description
In a nutshell:
A fragrant, rounded and award winning Czech white with a touch of fullness.
The lowdown:
Sonberk is in the Czech Republic's main wine region of Moravia not far from the Austrian border. This is one of their top wines and is made from Pálava grape variety which was bred here in the 1950s to suit the local climate pefectly. Made without oak ageing, on the nose it's lightly aromatic and has plenty of exotic fruity and spicy notes while on the palate there's a real richness to which the ripe flavours of pears and peaches combine to give generous creamy mouthfeel. It all draws to a pleasantly lingering finish shot through with hints of almonds.
When to drink:
The Czech Republic may be off the beaten track, but this is a well made wine, worth looking out for. Nicely mouthfilling, it'll go really well with lightly spiced asian fish, chicken and rice dishes.
